alt Hacker NewsI saw a youtube video of a single mother who job it was to cut out the ice from underneath the ships to create space to do the repairs. Apparently its a very dangerous job because you can easily end up frozen to the river if you're not careful. Must be the same one mentioned in the article.

I'm reminded of the worker in this bit - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6U3g-h1rxQw
Absolutely loves her job. Screams a little bit every time she swings the pickaxe below a certain depth though. As one does.
